SAFETY

TOOLS

PRECAUTIONS

Before using the welder, it is important to purchase gloves and safety glasses. It is manda-tory to wear them at all times when using the welder. Anyone close to the machine while in use should also wear safety glasses. When welding, pieces of hot plastic can be projected, causing burns. These burning fragments can cause a loss of vision if no protection is used.

Before you go out to install your 5/16 fusion fittings on the mainlines, it would beappropriate to bring with you the following items :

• Spray bottle with rubbing alcohol inside• Clean, dry cloths• Hexagonal 3/32 wrench• Cordless Drill• CDL drill bit with countersinking tool• Replacement battery(s) Dewalt 20V 5A

The alcohol and cloth will be used to clean the mainline to remove any greasy residue that could alter the fusion of the two plastics. Use only alcohol to clean as it evaporates much faster.

It is important to take certain precautions before beginning to install our fittings. Failing totake these precautions into account could weaken the fusion of the two components and create a BAD WELD.

1) Operating temperature. Any fusion should be done at a temperature above -10°C (14°F). Under this temperature, the weld will be weaker. In addition, it is strongly NOT recommended to weld at high temperatures above 30 ° C. It should be noted that any welding with this tool should be done when there is no precipitation unless countering the elements with temporary shelters. If there are any precipitations, ensure that the tubing is dry before installing the endings. Rain, snow and ice will create obstacles or contaminants for the fusion of the plastic. It should be noted that the SpinSeal is not completely waterproof. It is of the customer’s responsibility to protect his equipment.


2) Clean surface. Check that the surface of the tubing is clean and free of contaminants. If dirt is present, clean the mainline with alcohol and wipe with a clean cloth to remove any residue. Wait until there is no trace of alcohol left before you begin. Any liquid remaining on the surface during the welding will weaken or contaminate the fusion.

3) New material. All fittings must be installed on new equipment only. A material that has not been worn out by time and weather will guarantee a good fusion of the two components. The place where the fitting is to be laid must be free of holes. The design of the SpinSeal fitting was conceived to blend perfectly into a uniform tubing. Fastening a fitting to an area where there is a hole could involve a lack of material

during the fusion. It is then essential to fuse before drilling.

4) Material compatibility. The SpinSeal clamp is designed to fit mainlines from ¾“ to 2“ diameter. You must also make sure that the 5/16“ fittings to be installed are compa-tible with the mainline.

Only the HD CDL, CDL Line SpinSeal, Versapipe Fusion and Rapitube Versaprofiles mainlines are compatible. To find out if your material is compatible, just look at the engravings on the tubing. The type of plastic will also be inscribed.

Compatibles Mainlines


VERIFICATION

A quick machine check should be done before each prolonged use.

1) Verify that the spring and the sliding guide work properly. Verify that there are no plas-tic chips that can affect the mechanism. Close the clamp and push the connector insert upwards. The mechanism should slide in a non-jerky manner. The use of « Fluid film » lubricant can be used to assist in the operation of the mechanism. The product « Fluid film » is strongly recommended.

2) When connecting the battery to the SpinSeal,make sure that you hear a beep sound. Confirm that the dial indicates the battery voltage and that the green indicator light is on. If the display shows 17.9 volts or less, the red light will flash and the buzzer will sound, this means it is time to change your battery as it is not charged enough. It should be noted that a lower voltage would have a major impact on the weld. This is why the tool is equipped with a system that prevents operation if the voltage is not adequate.

Movement


ADJUSTMENT

A good adjustment of the machine and its settings result in a good fusion . Always follow these steps in sequence when you are about to install a series of fusion fittings or when there is a change in temperature.

1) The clamp opening The clamping pressure of the clamp must be adjusted according to the size of the tubing to be fused.

(a) Open the clamp and place it in the center of the mainline you are going to weld. Snap the clamp to close it.

(b) Turn the adjusting screw until the top part and the bottom part of the clamp come into contact with the tubing.

(c) Open the clamp and turn the adjusting screw a ½ turn for a tight fit.


2) Welding time, cooling, mode type

It is essential to adjust the settings before you begin to weld.Refer to the table for suggested times.

(a) Connect the battery to the machine and wait for the green light on the display to light up. The number in red indicates the voltage of the battery. If the voltage indicates 17 (red light on the left flashes + beep sound). You must replace the battery.

(b) Hold down the green button on the selector until the green light on the display begins to flash. Release the button. You are now in settings. See the picture be-low to understand the function of each button.


(c) The red and green lights will start flashing. This will tell you that you are in the mode (Fusion Time). Use the black and blue buttons to adjust your welding time to suit your needs. Once selected, press the green button once.

(d) The green and blue lights will start blinking. You are now in themode (cooling pressure time). Use the black and blue buttons again toselect your desired time. Press the green button to confirm.

(e) The lights (green, red) and blue will start flashing. You are now in(Manual / Automatic) mode. Use the black and blue buttons again to select your mode. Of = Automatic mode and ON = Manual mode. Press the green button to confirm.

( f ) Your settings are now set.


3) Validating your settings Once your settings are set, an empty test (no fusion connection) can be made before starting. This is the best way to validate if everything works properly.

(a) Press the (Start cycle) button and make sure everything matches your settings. If you need to stop the SpinSeal during the welding cycle, press the start button a second time. The SpinSeal will stop automatically. This mode (emergency stop) may be useful if you perceive that your welding time is too long and that you are digging the fitting into the pipe. If you are in (Manual) mode, hold down the button to start the SpinSeal. Release to stop the machine. IMPORTANT: If you make an emergency stop, it is IMPORTANT to remove the pliers from the SpinSeal fitting before performing another cycle (cycle start button). It will be impossible for the welder to perform another cycle if the fitting has already had a weld start. This could cause the fuse to break.

(b) If you are in (Manual) mode the orange light is on. Hold the button to start the SpinSeal. Release to stop the SpinSeal. the manual mode is used for more complex tasks and repairs.

If the orange light is on, you are in manual mode.

(a)(b)

After five minutes of inactivity, the SpinSeal will go into standby mode. The dis-play will turn off and the green light will blink. Press the green button (Enter) to exit standby mode.

Do not press the green button repeatedly as this will overheat the fuse.


4) Drill bit adjustment The drill bit must be adjusted in relation to the CDL countersinking tool to remove any

fusion residue without damaging the mainline.

(a) Unscrew the two Allen screws to allow the adjustment of the drill bit. Use a 5/64 Allen wrench. Adjust the height so that there is 5/8’’ (0.625’’) between the coun-tersinking tool and the beginning of the conical “tapered” part of the drill bit. Tighten the screws on the flat part of the drill bit.

(b) A fusion fitting can be used to validate the fit of the drill bit. Press the end of the fitting onto the countersinking tool. The reinforcement of the fusion joint should reach the middle of the conical “tapered” part of the drill bit.

Appearance of the fusion cord

The weld will be completed from the beginning of the appearance of the fusion cord. A bad fusion will be seen by a lack of liquefaction of the plastic or a spacing between the two components. If a weld seam is not visible, the settings must be readjusted. On the contrary, a too-fused connection will be perceptible because the tip will tend to «dig» and descend into the tubing. This may cause the fitting to pass through the pipe or create a weakness in the pipe.

1) Opening of the clamp2) Welding time, cooling, mode type3) Validating your settings4) Drill bit adjustment

WELDINGOnce the adjustments are complete, it is now possible to install the fusion fittings. Welding and drilling tests on a piece of mainline, under the same climatic conditions, should be carried out before installing a series of fittings or during any change intemperature.

This is the best way to ensure that the settings are appropriate. It is preferable to shut off the vacuum supply before installing the 5/16 end fittings. If the tubing is under vacuum, small pieces of plastic may be sucked in and taken to the extractor. It is the user’s responsibility to prevent these small residues from damaging his equipment.

The Spinseal fitting as been developped to be weld on pipe by his center. The ring (indicated in red) at the bottom of the fitting is the important part to be melt.

DRILLING PROCEDURE

Use the drill with the countersinking tool and the drill bit to remove the hole from the fitting.

1) Insert the drill bit 1/2 inch deep in the fitting.

2) Orient the drill bit to be perfectly perpendicular to the fitting.

3) Operate the drill until the fittings ribs are removed(except 3/16’’ fittings).

NOTE: A fitting with no rib will confirm that it has indeed been emptied and that the weld is solid.

* Be careful not to damage the barbs for the 5/16 tubing.

Note: It is important to use a sharp CDL SpinSeal drill bit. It is designed to expel as many shavings as possible outside of the tubing, to limit the burrs and to make straight and precise holes. Plastic shavings should be regularly removed to ensure uniform drilling and not to damage the subsequent drillings.

*Note that this chart shows starting adjustments, a visual inspection of the weld always remains necessary. Refer to the manual for an example of a good weld. Several factors can influence the welding (external temperature, the external humidity rate. The color and pattern of tubing. The temperature of the tubing itself if it is exposed to the sun or not.) For better stability of operation, it is strongly advised to operate the Spinseal with a battery voltage above 19 volts.
